The fact remains that now you need more than one application to do what you could have done previously within Photoshop and OSX.
Yes, and you seem to keep forgetting what I told you...in order to do what the old No Color Management did in Photoshop in a Carbon API application, the engineers (and product management) determined that trying to do the same hack (because it was a hack that could and was broken many times by Apple) was unmanageable. So, No Color Management was yanked...yes, Win users also lost..so what. The impact is ONLY on people who need to print out intentionally untagged profile making targets. Even back when Photoshop had the ability, a lot of users still failed to properly use it–as Andrew how many people took the target and printed it incorrectly and sent him off the print to read...
So, Photoshop CS5 and above will no longer be engaged in an activity that the color management companies should themselves be doing. You have a color target, you need to read the printed target, shouldn't the CM application provide a method of easily printing that target? I say yes...more moderns ones like Eye-One Match does...
So, rather than tie Photoshop CS5 and above do this, Adobe is going to offer a free, cross platform printer application probably named "Adobe Color Printer Utility" that should be very easy to use and very easy for Adobe to rev in the event that there are underlying issues caused by the OS print pipeline in the future...
Pi$$ & Moan™ all you want about Apple & ColorSync, it pisses me off no end, that's the reality we live in. Deal with it. Also note that color management on Windows ain't exactly nirvana either bud...the only nice thing about Windows is by and large it doesn't do anything bad which means it's up to the applications and the print drivers to get things right. Which doesn't always happen either...
No Color Management is out of Photoshop CS5 and above. Time to move along now...
